    Sugar Addiction

    I love sweets too. Sometimes I overdo it with the sweets and feel gross. I bought one of those Sugar Busters books that are in most book stores. It was a plan you followed that had steps to go through. I know the first one was to eat protein with breakfast. Once you did that, you moved to the...

    Bikini waxing

    I've gotten bikini waxes for years. When I first started going, it hurt a lot, but you get used to it. Some "waxers" aren't as good as others, so it hurts more. I definately like it since you avoid ingrowns and bumps (although you can get some- just exfoliate lightly and use Tendskin). Some...

    OMG ! Missy Elliot !

    I didn't type that- I copied and pasted it from another site. I'm hoping that site made a typo! I didn't even catch that.

    New CIA tapes

    interval express I take back what I said about Interval Express (mindy mylrea) having too long of rest periods. I did it for the 2nd time and discovered it's tough!! You really work your legs too. I'm still not *loving* the medicine ball moves, but it's no big deal. I think I was just used to...

    J-LO's new video ?

    Interview with her coming up... All you J Lo fans be sure to watch her interview Wed night at 10:00 on ABC with Barbara Walters! I'm not a fan, but I'm still watching. I, of course, will only watch it as a reward for doing a killer Cathe workout beforehand. (I had to add something on...

    OMG ! Missy Elliot !

    Reason for her weight loss... I found the actual article I read about her weight loss: The Incredible Shrinking Missy Elliott A hip-hop artist sparking up the rumor mill is Missy Elliott. While there's been wild speculation on exactly how she was able to go from a size extra-large to a...

    New CIA tapes

    Some of the older CIAs are not that great in terms of production and cueing. I did one with Helen van der Berg the other day and the cueing was awful! Everyone was on the wrong foot. Try to preview the videos at collagevideo.com. Some of them are better than others. Some people dislike Mindy...

    OMG ! Missy Elliot !

    I read about her somewhere. She's lost the weight by hopping on the treadmill 5 days a week and running for a good amount of time (not too long, but more than say 20 mins). She was joking that she feels like she's running off the twinkies she just ate.

    Working a muscle to failure

    I just read a fitness celeb (someone in those Oxygen or M&F Hers mags), recommends that you not just do a set # of reps. You may do 12 reps, but that doesn't mean you're really working hard enough. I usually know which weight works for me and if I can go to 14 reps vs 10, I do it. Then just...

    Rhythmic Step's pace...

    slower Yeah, even though this tape gives a good workout and is fun, it is a bit slower paced. It can be a nice change from those hardcore interval tapes though!

    Medicine ball

    I got a cheap one at Walmart. It was about $15 vs. $30 at #####'s. It's 5 lbs (purple), but not the typical hard surfaced med ball. It's more squishy, filled with sand. But it works fine. The only problem I have with it is when doing some moves in CIA tapes, like putting both hands on it while...

    No longer a Mindy virgin

    Mindy's Great! I was surprised to read on another site that some people think Mindy is obnoxious and irritating. I love her personality. The tapes don't seem endless, and she's fun and motviating. I hate tapes where it seems like they're just giving a memorized speech. The cuing can be poor...

    Article on models. airburshing....

    I found a great article explaining how models/celebs DON'T look the same in real life as they do in magazines. It explains what goes behind the photo shoots. It's interesting...hopefully you can copy this link and go to it... Lisa...

    J-LO's new video ?

    Sick of JLo Ugh, J-Lo! I am sooo sick of her. Yeah, she's got a curvy shape, but most women can't afford a chef and trainer. I live near Philly where she shot Jersey Girl and in the local paper, it said she hired a famous trainer to train her and Ben Affleck. They worked out for 90 mins 5-6...

    Binge eating at night! Help!

    I have the same problem! After spinning class or Cathe (I workout around 7:00 at night), I shower and all that. Then I sit to watch tv and just HAVE to eat something. I know it's normal to be hungry after a workout and you should probably eat something, but eating "real" ice cream out of the...

    cross train express

    I like these tapes! I used to think that I needed to get at least 30mins of cardio in. But now I realize that ANY cardio is good. As long as you add a few longer cardios in during the week, I think it's beneficial to do CTX. You get in a fun, tough workout with some weight training. It's...

    Medicine Balls

    Walmart I got my 5 lb medicine ball at Walmart too. It was 1/2 the price of the ones in those chain sporting goods stores. Mine is soft though and filled with sand, so it's different than the other med balls. But, hey, it works!
